About Us

A HANDPICKED TEAM

Van Biljon Barnardo Architects was established in 1992.

Our team, headed by directors Peet van Biljon, Arnold Barnardo and Jaco Serfontein, are a creative and dynamic group of individuals working together with a shared vision of providing architectural solutions to our clients.

Together, we strive for contemporary design solutions that are client specific, site sensitive and environmentally responsible.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Good design should accompany a strong code of behaviour and we have built VBBA on a firm foundation, driven by three cornerstone principles:

1. PERSONALISED IDEAS

We endeavour to be client specific. We offer personalised ideas and design solutions based on analysis and understanding of our client needs.

2. sensitive to context

We are sensitive to context. A construction cannot be viewedsimply at face value, architecture goes beyond not only meeting a client’s brief but requires us to comprehend the depths a building’s presence has in a social context.

3. environmentally responsible

We are environmentally responsible. Our designs should not only enrich their intended but should cause no damage or hindrance to the landscape that it inhabits.
